>At a news conference Friday afternoon with his attorney, Eric Seitz, Pelletier made a bombshell claim of his own: that Bissen had him sidelined because Bissen has been under criminal investigation since August.

“I will tell you, it’s a felonious crime and the mayor is the suspect,” Pelletier said. He refused to provide any more details and he said he is recused from the investigation, apparently because of the bad blood with the Mayor.<

Unreal. Calm beautiful night

&gt;We're used to things taking time to get to Hawaiʻi. Overnight on the Mainland means at least two days to the Islands. But now the Post Office says that instead of Priority Mail taking two to three days, those packages are now expected in two to four days.

It's longer for the Ground Advantage service. A package that used to take two to five days now takes at least 10 days to arrive.<

Got my hands on the new flavor. Any suggestions on how I should prepare it? I'm thinking of making homemade buttermilk biscuits sandwiches with egg and cheese.

Molokai needs more time to prepare than a letter sent on Sept 11th. It's hard to find any lower watt generators anywhere right now let alone delivered to Molokai. But, food in the fridge and freezer should be fine for 8 hours per day. Fill it up with large water containers and set it low. Food will last. But still - six says of losing power for 8 hours should be more than

&gt;Now residents of half the island say their food stocks are at risk because of a six-day, eight-hour-per-day, planned power outage that Hawaiian Electric Co. announced last month for the east side of the Friendly Isle. The company says it needs to upgrade the island’s grid to help prevent wildfires.

Residents say they’re all for the upgrades, but have proposed various ways for HECO to change its work schedule to give them more time to prepare and mitigate food spoilage. <

&gt;One of the issues for Molokaʻi residents, Chow says, is that they had relatively little time to prepare. HECO sent out letters to affected customers on Sept. 11 and followed up with a series of emails starting Sept. 16, but Chow said many residents didn’t fully understand what was about to happen until HECO held a virtual webinar last week. 

Even if people had been fully informed weeks ago, she said, there’s simply not enough propane for generators and other emergency supplies on the island to supply the roughly 600 households to be affected.

HECO’s Decker wrote that the notices were more than adequate. <

Aloha everyone, I was wondering what this is. I am a student at UH Manoa and as I was walking up the stairs by the zone 20 parking structure, near the Stan Sheriff Center. (can see it if looking through the glass part at the top of the staircase) I saw this black thing hanging from a plant. I was wondering if you guys think it is more of a leaf or animal? sorry for the terrible quality, any help would be appreciated. I don’t think it is a bat as I heard that the Hawaiian Bat is really good at hiding so it wouldn’t make sense for it to be out in the open like this
